The purpose of this Post here on blogspot is to show a few photos of our visit to the Mayo Clinic today. For technical reasons beyond my understanding, I was not able to upload these photos into our dot.net website so here they are on blogspot !!

Step One. You must be screened in order to enter any Mayo Clinic Building. Then after being screened you are given the below tags. Patti's tag is the top one and mine the below red one.

Next, after getting to the procedure area on the second floor of the Mayo Clinic Phoenix Building 3, Patti was assigned the below number ..  2000458748839

I focused only on the final 5 digits .. 48839

What is the use of the above indentification numer? 

In the waiting area is a large Patient Status Board that, using your own patients identification number, you can track their progress.

A closer look at the above Patient Status Board.

Below are close up photos showing Patti's status. Look for Patti's I.D. number ending in 48839. 

Patti is the 6th up from the bottom and her status is : Preparing for procedure.

Next we have (again 6th up from the bottom) : In procedure room.

And finally Patti's procedure is finished and she is (6th up from the bottom) in the recovery room : Waking up.

Patti is: Waking up.

All the while, I was getting text messages advising me of Patti's status. 

12:33 Mayo Clinic: You are signed up to receive procedure update messages. Please do not reply to these messages.

13:29 Mayo Clinic : The patient is in the operating room.

13:33 Mayo Clinic : The patient's procedure had begun.

13:47 Mayo Clinic : The patient is in the recovery area.

And then it was time for me to go get our truck and meet Patti downstairs (the staff bring patients down in wheel chairs).

A few looks at very attractive The Mayo Clinic Campus from where I was sitting.

Thanks so VERY MUCH for your prayers and ongoing support!

JAN 31, 22 .. WELCOME TO THE MAYO CLINIC ..

Well, long pause, on one hand we know that some of you don't believe that Covid-19 exists, and on the other hand, some of you believe, not only that Covid-19 and Omicron exist, but that they can not only be very serious but life threatening. 

No matter your beliefs or your constitutional rights to do as you please..

IF you go to the Mayo Clinic here in Phoenix, Arizona, and IF your particular Mayo Clinic Doctor asks that you be tested for Covid-19 or Omicron, before your appointment, you either get tested or you don't have an appointment. 

Being a Mayo Clinic patient is NOT a birthright, it is a privilege bestowed upon individuals by the Mayo Clinic and IF you are accepted into their health care system, you will want to do whatever the medical staff asks you to do. 

Patti and I were required to be tested for Covid-19 and Omicron before we could complete our appointments here at the Mayo Clinic today, January 31st.

Our first appointment was at 8:15am in the morning.

So? 

We two were tested yesterday (Sunday) morning (at 7am) so that the test results were evaluated before our 8:15am appointment this morning.

HERE WE GO LOOP DE LOOP..

Below we are about to enter the first screening area where we provide our names and birthdates and are officially verified as Mayo patients and are logged into the system.

BELOW WE ARE ABOUT TO GO LOOP DI LI..

And then we were through and finished. 

Below is the 'Mother Ship' of the Mayo Clinic, Phoenix Campus. It is known as Phoenix 1, its address is 5777 Mayo Blvd, Phoenix, Arizona.

This is all very, VERY emotional to Patti and me. Since November 28th of 2016, when I arrived with a broken hip as a result of a bad fall in the airport in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and I was welcomed and accepted by the Mayo Clinic as a patient, this view of this building has become very special and very personal to both of us.

And with our testing complete, out and off and back to our motel we drove so that we could enjoy the two National Football League Conference Championship football games.

Thanks to each and everyone of you following along here with us.
